The woman, who was not injured was sheltering in a cave when rescue teams found her.

The crew then had to swim to the cave, as surf conditions were so strong that the lifeboats were unable to approach.

A BBC investigation has found some young South West fishermen are dying after abusing drugs at sea. 

A grieving father from Teignmouth, Micky Hill, says his son would never have set out on a scallop dredging trip if he'd known his friend on board was high on amphetamines. 

Mr Hill's son was just 22 when he died two years ago. 

Shane Hooper, who worked for the family business, had high levels of the drug in his body when it was recovered. Micky says the tragedy's left him broken.
